<p><strong>Updated, 12/27, 5:59 p.m. </strong>Jay Root's story about <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/directory/rick-perry?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Rick Perry</a>'s taxpayer-funded security costs has shot up the list into the second slot. (Thank you, link from <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a>.)</p>
<p>*****</p>
<p>As 2011 comes to a close, we are taking a look back at the stories our readers liked best, judging by the number of pageviews they received.</p>
<p>With our governor jumping into the GOP presidential fray in August, stories about Rick Perry quickly and definitively became the most popular on the Trib site. And he didn't fail to provide excellent material. Seven of the 10 most-read stories this year are about Perry &mdash; his politics, his past and his policy stances.</p>
<p>In a year with a legislative session where lawmakers were trying to scrimp and save and cut pennies, it's little surprise that people were also intensely interested in knowing which state services would face the <a href="%20http:/www.texastribune.org/texas-taxes/2011-budget-shortfall/texas-house-budget-proposes-sweeping-cuts/">budget</a> ax.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just up the street from the Capitol, at the University of Texas, the latest intrigue in a year of controversies at the state's flagship institution also caught readers' attention: the forced <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/texas-education/university-of-texas-system/dean-ut-law-signs-letter-resignation/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">resignation</a> of law school dean Larry Sager earlier this month.</p>
<p>And what list of Texas stories would be complete without a kooky fight with the feds? Number three on the list was the Tribune's story about the federal government <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/texas-legislature/82nd-legislative-session/fed-threat-shuts-down-tsa-groping-bill-in-texas/?r=&amp;utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">threatening</a> to shut down Texas airports when legislators debated a bill that would have prevented intrusive airport security pat-downs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Texas lawmakers have six weeks left in the regular session, and their struggle with the state's tight 2012-13 budget is expected to take up much of that time. It could even push them into a special session this summer if they can't reconcile differences between the House and Senate over these final weeks.</p>
<p>It's a hard job, and perhaps the best way to show you that is to hand you some of the numbers &mdash;&nbsp;the programs that might be cut, the taxes that might be raised &mdash;&nbsp;and let you make some choices as to how the $27 billion budget shortfall should be closed with <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/2011-budget-puzzle/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_self">our special interactive app</a>.</p>
<p>This idea wasn't entirely ours. <em>The New York Times</em> did <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/13/weekinreview/deficits-graphic.html">a great budget app</a> earlier this year to let its readers try to close the hole in the federal budget, and we're walking a trail they blazed. And the <em>Houston Chronicle</em> &mdash;&nbsp;our partner in this &mdash; prompted this effort in a conversation between their chief, Jeff Cohen, and ours, Evan Smith.</p>
<p>We've chosen from a list of cuts proposed in the Texas Senate and House budgets, and combined them with taxes, cost savings, accounting tricks and fees that have been suggested or formally proposed by one set of legislators or another. The sources for our numbers and the descriptions of the cuts are varied, but include the <a href="http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/Bill_82/2_House/prtHouse_Full_2011.pdf">House budget</a> and the <a href="http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/Bill_82/2_House/House%20Summary%20of%20CSHB1.pdf">summary prepared for it</a> by the Legislative Budget Board, the <a href="http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/Bill_82/1_Recommend/Bill-82-1_Senate_Recommend.pdf">Senate's proposed budget</a> and the <a href="http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/LBE/2012-2013/LBE_SENATE_SUMMARY_2012-2013.pdf">LBB summary</a>, the LBB's <a href="http://www.lbb.state.tx.us/Performance%20Reporting/TX_Govt_Effective_Efficiency_Report_82nd.pdf">Government Effectiveness and Efficiency Report</a>, and individual pieces of legislation and the fiscal notes &mdash; the cost estimates &mdash; attached to them. As an example, <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/session/82R/bills/SB1004/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Senate Bill 1004</a> would tax sodas at the rate of a penny per ounce, and the $1.1 billion that would produce is in the fiscal note attached to the bill. In addition, the comptroller of public accounts provided some of the information, such as the estimate on an increased sales tax, and that agency's <a href="http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/incidence/">Tax Exemptions and Tax Incidence 2011</a> report was also the source of some numbers.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once you've glanced through our list of budget options, pick the options you think would be the most appropriate way to close the budget shortfall. You can share your choices with your friends on Facebook and Twitter to start an informed conversation about the hard choices our government faces. And you can connect your submission with your lawmakers so that, after we've collected enough data, we can show you how each district feels about the budget; and connect your submission with your Facebook account so your lawmakers can see that your opinions are held by a real constituent, not just by one person submitting the same opinion over and over. We'll also show you what was most popular &mdash;&nbsp;and what was least popular &mdash;&nbsp;so you can see how your answers match up with everyone else's.</p>
<p>If you'd rather remain anonymous, you don't have to share your choices, or have them attached to your name.</p>
<p>We'll update the application if new choices (or new numbers) become available.</p>

<p>From the beginning, we <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/blogs/post/2009/nov/02/data-manifesto/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">promised</a>&nbsp;you data.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And since our November launch, the&nbsp;Tribune has published more than 30 web applications providing searchable access to 1.1 million government records, including the state's most comprehensive database of public payroll &mdash; where the government spends most of its money. Readers have viewed these pages more than 2.3 million times, accounting for more than a third of the site's traffic.</p>
<p>Data have been long been used by journalists to add precision and context to their reporting. But making that information available to readers &mdash; in both raw formats and, more importantly, interactive applications &mdash;&nbsp;empowers Texans to dig through public records and documents themselves, and to organize and make sense of what they find. Publishing data&nbsp;<em>is</em>&nbsp;news. It aligns with our strategy of adding knowledge and context to traditional reporting, and it helps you and us hold public officials accountable.</p>

<p>Texas houses roughly 160,000 inmates in more than 100 state prison units, a sprawling network of secure buildings from Edinburg to Dalhart that few outsiders see or understand.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now you can explore them all.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Tribune's latest&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">data application</a>, one of our most ambitious,&nbsp;includes records and visualizations on each of these facilities and the inmates inside them, including names, crimes, sentences and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>You don't need to know an inmate's name to learn from the data. The app contains charts and graphs that break down the inmates by ethnicity, gender and age, among other variables. Users can also see visualizations of the average sentence lengths statewide and in specific prisons.</p>
<p>One chart in the app, for instance, shows that the most common sentence length is from 10 to 20 years:&nbsp;</p>
<p><a class="lightbox" href="http://records.texastribune.org/dataapps/distribution.JPG?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola"><img src="http://records.texastribune.org/dataapps/distribution.JPG" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Inside the app are landing pages for each of the prisons that contain maps, satellite photos and details about the most common convictions and inmate population.</p>
<p>Select the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/units/allred/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Allred Unit</a>&nbsp;near Wichita Falls, for example, and you'll see that more than 3,600 inmates are housed there &mdash; and that the most common criminal conviction is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/crimes/burglary-of-habitation/1/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">burglary of a habitation</a>.&nbsp;Most of the inmates there are serving sentences of longer than 20 years (more than 200 of which for <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/crimes/homicide-murder/18/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">murder</a>).</p>
<p>You can then drill down into inmates' personal pages and learn about their convictions, sentences, hometowns &mdash; even their height, weight and gender. (Some of this information is available on the state's <a href="http://168.51.178.33/webapp/TDCJ/index2.htm">prisoner locator</a>, but the system is slow, complicated and often unreliable).&nbsp;</p>
<p>The oldest inmate,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/inmates/corban-henry-wyatt/66674/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Corban Henry Wyatt</a>, 91, entered the prison system eight years ago on a sexual assault conviction. Among the youngest is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/inmates/alfonso-hernandez/67156/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Alfonso Hernandez</a>, 16, who was convicted in 2008 of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/texas-prisons/crimes/agg-robbery/389/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon</a>&nbsp;and sentenced as an adult.</p>
<p>The app also contains landing pages for each crime type &mdash; more than 900 in all. There you'll see a list of inmates, sorted by the lengths of their terms. They pages also include visualizations allowing users to see to see the average sentences given for each offense.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The statewide government&nbsp;<a title="payroll app" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">payroll app</a>&nbsp;has been, by far, the most popular feature at The Texas Tribune, accounting for nearly one in five clicks on our website. With that in mind, we sought to make it even better.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">new version</a> contains data on 340,000 employees of the state's largest agencies, universities, cities, school districts, and mass-transit operators. That's more than $15 billion in public payroll that we collected under the&nbsp;<a title="Texas Public Information Act" href="http://www.texastribune.org/topics/texas-public-information-act-tpia/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">Texas Public Information Act</a>. Now, though, the app is easier to navigate, especially for people who don't come to it with a specific employee to find.</p>
<p>The old app only allowed users to search for a worker's name or to see a descending list of the top-paid employees by agency. As of today, users can also search for&nbsp;<a title="job titles" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/titles/city-attorney/2669/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">job titles</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a title="agencies" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/agencies/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">agencies</a>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;and then compare those against similar groups in the database.</p>
<p>A search for "professor," for example, returns the top 10 employees with that word in their titles. It shows that&nbsp;<a title="Texas A&amp;M University" href="http://www.tamu.edu/">Texas A&amp;M University</a>&nbsp;pays its top-tier professors more than its intrastate rival,&nbsp;<a title="The University of Texas at Austin" href="http://www.utexas.edu/">the University of Texas at Austin</a>. You can now do similar comparisons across the 28 governmental entities in the database.</p>
<p><a class="lightbox" href="http://static.texastribune.org/media/images/salaries_profs_.jpg?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola"><img src="http://static.texastribune.org/media/images/salaries_profs_.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The app also now performs calculations by titles and agencies. The&nbsp;<a title="landing page" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/titles/city-attorney/2669/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">landing page</a>&nbsp;for "City Attorney" salaries, for example, tells users that employees with that title have salaries ranging from $210,000 to $30,692, with a median of $59,626. The app also allows users to&nbsp;<a title="compare salaries by agency" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/agencies/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">compare salaries by agency</a>, highlighting the fact that the University of Texas and Texas A&amp;M University system offices have the highest median salaries. The&nbsp;<a title="City of Brownsville" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/brownsville/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">City of Brownsville</a>&nbsp;has the lowest.<br /><br />We've also added visualization with the&nbsp;<a title="Google Chart API" href="http://code.google.com/apis/chart/">Google Chart API</a>, allowing users see salary ranges. Here's one for of&nbsp;<a title="City of Fort Worth" href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee-salaries/fort-worth/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola">City of Fort Worth</a>, showing that most workers earn from $30,000-$70,000 a year.</p>

<p>Who wants to travel without a map?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last week we <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/stories/2009/dec/17/frequent-flyers-congressional-travel/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">wrote</a> about members of the Texas congressional delegation and their staffs accepting trips funded by private groups:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The visit was among more than 200 privately funded trips taken by Texas members of Congress and their staffs during the last two years. Groups like the American Israel Education Foundation, which flew Olson to Israel, have spent more than $350,000 on such trips, an analysis of congressional disclosure records shows.</p>
<p>Most members of the Texas delegation took privately funded trips across the country for conventions and fact-finding missions &mdash; but also to popular foreign destinations, such as Paris, Istanbul and Valencia, Spain.</p>

<p>Our latest <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/red-light-cameras/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">data application</a>, which lets you explore red-light cameras around the state, began last week as 363 files in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format" target="_blank">portable document format</a>.</p>
<p>You <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/blogs/post/2009/dec/01/records-adventures-public-information/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">remember</a> how much we like those, right?</p>
<p>That's the format in which the Texas Department of Transportation collected data on citations and crashes at monitored intersections. Fortunately, though, we were able to extract the data to a .CSV format (see the original <a href="http://static.texastribune.org/media/documents/red-light-cameras.original.csv?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">here</a>) and then massage that file into <a href="http://static.texastribune.org/media/documents/red-light-cameras.csv?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">something</a> suitable for the app.</p>
<p>Niran, one of our <a href="http://www.python.org/" target="_blank">Python</a> wizards, wrote a script and used the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/" target="_blank">Google Maps API</a> to geocode, or assign&nbsp;longitude&nbsp;and&nbsp;latitude&nbsp;coordinates, to each intersection. That gave us precise locations for about two thirds of the camera sites, but the rest had to be added manually. He then loaded the list into our database and used <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/" target="_blank">Django</a> to build pages to display the data. Embedded Google Maps with our longitudes and latitudes create the visualizations of each intersection.</p>
<p>Not everyone is a developer, of course, so we've made the application <a href="http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/red-light-cameras/embedding/?utm_source=texastribune.org&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=Tribune%20Feed:%20Niran%20Babalola" target="_blank">embeddable</a>&nbsp;as an iframe.&nbsp;Here's what it would like zoomed in on Houston, for example:</p>
